Pre-setting the mounting height

Safety
DANGER!
Danger of crushing by the machine falling
If the upper link halves are accidentally rotated totally apart from each other, it may happen that the
upper link cannot compensate for the traction forces of the machine. This may result in the
machine abruptly tilting over backwards or falling down.
This can lead to severe personal injury. Machines can be damaged.
u
When extending the upper link, always observe the maximum admissible length specified by
the tractor or upper link manufacturer.
u
Ensure that nobody is present in the hazard zone of the machine.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from rotating spreading discs
The distribution unit (spreading discs, spreading vanes) may catch and pull in body parts or
objects. Contact with the distribution unit may injure, crush or cut off body parts.
u
Maximum admissible mounting heights at front (V) and rear (H) are to be complied with at all
times.
u
Ensure that nobody is present in the hazard zone of the machine.
u
Do not remove deflectors mounted on the hopper.
General instructions before setting the mounting height
•
We recommend that you choose the highest coupling point on the tractor to connect the upper
link, particularly for high lifting heights.
For normal fertilizing and late fertilizing,
always
use the
upper coupling points
of the
machine.
•
The lower coupling points for the lower links of the tractor present at the machine are only
provided
for exceptional cases
in late fertilization.
7.5.2
Maximum admissible mounting height
The maximum admissible mounting height (V + H) is measured from the ground to the lower edge of
the frame.
